MultiVersus Leak Exposes Scrapped Daffy Duck and Future Seasons

Summary

  • MultiVersus planned to add Daffy Duck & continue for 5 more seasons but faced financial failure.
  • Fans praised Season 5 update for gameplay changes & new content but marked a bittersweet chapter.

A recent leak uncovers that the game MultiVersus was planning to incorporate Daffy Duck and continue operation for several more seasons. Initially, fans welcomed the idea of MultiVersus integrating characters from Warner’s properties into matches akin to Super Smash Bros. However, players were taken aback when the game temporarily shut down in June 2023 before reemerging in May 2024.

Following its release in 2024, issues associated with the game multiplied, with two main concerns voiced by players being the monetization strategies and the tedious progression. Consequently, MultiVersus turned out to be a financial flop for Warner Bros. Games, adding to the struggles they faced after launching Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The game was met with criticism for its balancing issues, making characters like Iron Giant and Finn overly powerful, and the lack of certain features, such as the option to play all characters offline.

It’s been uncovered that the game MultiVersus had intentions to incorporate Daffy Duck and continue with new seasons. Information mined from dataminer multiversusie suggests that there was an interaction coded between Lola Bunny and Daffy Duck in the game files, implying that the famous Looney Tunes character might have been included at a later stage. Interestingly, Lola Bunny, one of the Bruisers, made her debut in MultiVersus at the onset of Season 5, enlarging the playable roster. Furthermore, Aquaman was introduced, and he can be earned through the battle pass.

MultiVersus Had Plans to Run for Five More Seasons

It’s been leaked that MultiVersus intends to continue operation until Season 10, wrapping up on January 6, 2026. Details about what this entails, like fresh characters and stages, have yet to be disclosed. The fifth season of MultiVersus kicked off on February 4, introducing Aquaman and Lola, along with other additions such as the Wacky Weekends mode, Wabbit Season and Training Room maps, four Rifts, and a round of balance adjustments. Furthermore, developers have announced the Enter the Arena event starting on February 11, and a new ranked season is also in the works.

The fifth season debut garnered many accolades from players, who commended the significant enhancements in gameplay and movement mechanics that made the game more swift. Yet, this update signifies a bittersweet milestone for the fighting game, as it has had a rocky long-term trajectory, outshining itself initially but faltering subsequently. As MultiVersus is set to cease online operations on April 30, gamers have a limited time left to engage in online matches. With the servers winding down, the game can only be played offline, offering the choice of matches with up to three companions or solo battles against AI opponents.
